Robbie Keane: I have plenty of goals left in me

Ex Tottenham star Robbie Keane has responded to being controversially dropped from the starting line up for his country in the Republic of Ireland's recent 1-0 loss to Scotland.

Keane, who has scored 65 goals in 136 games for his country, has also been released from playing in the upcoming friendly with the US on Tuesday.

Various media outlets have speculated whether the move by Ireland boss Martin O'Neill, going with Shane Long and Jon Walters supporting him, could signify the beginning of the end for the country's record goalscorer.
